Abstract:
Multiple osteolytic lesions are usually associated with bone metastasis. However, brown tumor should also be included in the differential diagnosis. Brown tumor is a rare benign lesions in skeletal system, encountered in patients with uncontrolled primary or secondary hyperparathyroidism. In our case report, we present a 35-year-old female with multifocal brown tumor that difficultiy in differential diagnosis of metastasis of malignant parathyroid. Additionally, the treatment and follow up after parathyroidectomy are also emphasized. METHODS: The SCARE 2020 Guideline [1].

Oxyphil cells, whose functions remain elusive, emerge during late puberty, adding a layer of complexity to the parathyroid gland's intricacies. In contrast, principal parathyroid cells undertake a vital role by...

Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition
The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition or EMT is a developmental process commonly observed in wound healing, embryogenesis, and cancer metastasis. EMT is induced by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) or receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) ligands, which further...

Hormones That Influence Osteoblasts and/or Maintain the Matrix
Several hormones are necessary for controlling bone growth and maintaining the bone matrix. The pituitary gland secretes growth hormone (GH), which, as its name implies, controls bone growth. This happens in several ways: first, it triggers chondrocyte...
